About this ebook
Most likely you have never heard of the Shiwaku Islands - neither had I, even after I first started visiting them. It was several years later that someone mentioned that they had a name.
Yet even in Japan they are all but unknown, rarely visited and are off the tourist trail. All the more reason to get to know them.
Comprising a group of eight principle islands and around twenty rocks and islets they form a compact archipelago on the eastern board of Japan’s Seto Inland Sea. Islands such as Hiroshima, Honjima and Takamishima are backwaters, albeit ones rich in history and deeply redolent of a time now past and a Japan that is rarely seen.
This is the first book in any language dedicated to the story of these islands. Open the pages to discover a fascinating story in both words and photographs.
